Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin unseated by pro-business party
Bond investors are set to welcome the results as big swings related to Finland-specific developments are now unlikely
A pro-business opposition group has unseated Prime Minister Sanna Marin in Finland’s close parliamentary elections, paving the way for tough wrangling to form a new government in the northernmost euro area member.
National Coalition leader Petteri Orpo (53) is on track to become prime minister, having taken 48 seats in Sunday’s election. The far-right Finns Party won 46 of the parliament’s 200 seats, leaving the millennial leader’s Social Democrats in third place with 43 seats.
